I got it! WooHoo! - Land Rovers Only

9dawgs · 06-29-2005, 09:27 PM

I picked up the '99 Discovery tonight around 9:30pm.

Here's a shot in the dark (no pun intended) and rain. I'll have more pics posted when I get some daylight and dry weather. It's been raining here since last Friday...should make for some good muddin'!

I do have one question. Does the front end always pop when you turn tight? Curious noise I didn't notice before. I remember the full size Cherokees doing the same thing... Let me know if anyone else experiences this. Thanks!

BTW, I think this is the nicest rig I've ever owned...Ha!

Congrats on your new purchase!

It shouldn't normally pop, is it stock, or does it have oversize tires? May be a shock mount loose or something similar, i'd go under it and check the bolts see if they are all tight.

Congrats also on your new purchase!!
I had that probelm with our 97' it ended up being a lose bolt in the front end. It is located on the passenger side.

Congrats on the buy. Can't wait to see some pics of it in the day. All the rain will leave those back roads pretty muddy. Take pics when you go!!

Thanks Ibjettin, I'll check that out this afternoon :>) That is if the rain doesn't prevent me. Man, I need to clean out my garage now...

It sounds like the same noise I heard, so I'm hoping it'll be that easy of a fix... I think most will agree that you need a clean garage if you own a Rover
